The last time he met Wu Dong in the copper mine, Chen Mu got a strange military order, the military order was signed by Kong Xiaoxian, but Chen Mu felt that with Kong Xiaoxian's level, he should not make such a vague decision.

So Chen Mu returned the military order to Kong Xiaoxian as it was, asked Kong Xiaoxian to consider it carefully, and attached a letter to remind him that he did not understand the intention of the Queen Mother's move.

Not long after, Kong Xiaoxian replied: I was drinking with Wu Dong that day, drunk, and wrote down military orders when I was confused, but I didn't even remember it afterwards. For this reason, I have taken a heavy responsibility for my personal secretary, Lang Huang Xiaoyi.

Regarding the three kingdoms of Gulan, Aziman, and Tuman, our Shence Army should not send troops lightly, and if we send troops, we must first seek the consent of the gate lords.

I have already contacted the eighteenth son, and the reply of the prince is that the Tang family has no money for us now. If you want to fight, you will prepare your own money and military rations, and now the gate lord only gives Kong Xiaoxian a truce salary, and the gap between the truce military salary and the wartime military salary is very large, almost more than five times, or even higher, and it requires that the first battle must be won, and enough benefits must be obtained, otherwise do not start the station indiscriminately.

In addition, Gongzi also said that he could not do things according to Wu Dong's statement, and between our Tang clan and the small countries in the Western Regions, we have always adhered to the policy of the vassal king governing the domain. If you have to completely overthrow the rule of the vassal king, it is very easy to force the vassal kings of other small countries to unite and fight against our divine army together, and who will bear the consequences at that time?

Also, the great Sima Tang Qiong personally wrote to me to explain the Queen Mother's intentions, I have transcribed it, send you a copy, read it carefully by yourself, and act cautiously.

Chen Mu put down Kong Xiaoxian's reply and unfolded the letter of the great Sima Tang Qiong.

There are many words in the letter, which basically means:

Earlier, I promised Empress Dowager Chen that Zhang Yunlong would be allowed to recruit troops in Longyou, up to 50,000.

At that time, the Queen Mother insisted on 100,000, and I said that the battle situation in Hexi was urgent, and we could discuss it after the war. But I promised her that even if I couldn't recruit 100,000 troops, I would help him eliminate Zhao's military power. Let Empress Dowager Chen be the master of the royal family.

At that time, the Queen Mother agreed.

After the war, the three major lords cooperated to help the Empress Dowager Chen eliminate Zhao Tong's military power, and now the Empress Dowager has 130,000 soldiers and horses in her hands, and Zhao Tong has 70,000, in this case, I said to the Empress Dowager, your soldiers are enough, there is no need to recruit again.

But the stinky old ladies of the Empress Dowager Chen are competing with me, so they have to increase their troops.

In this regard, I reached an agreement with the other two major patriarchs of the Great Gate Lords that the Xuanjia Army would not be allowed to increase its troops. If the Queen Mother doesn't agree, I won't let Zhang Yunlong come back.

As a result, the Queen Mother was annoyed, so she asked Zhang Yunlong to start a war in the Western Regions and play with fire in our backyard.

Seeing the letter, Chen Mu laughed: "I see." ”

Laughing enough, Chen Mupin smacked, and suddenly felt that Empress Dowager Chen was very womanly.

It's interesting.

The Queen Mother is playing a scoundrel with Tang Qiong, an old man. And Zhang Yunlong saw through the intention of the Empress Dowager, so he did not move, so the Empress Dowager ordered the eunuch Wu Dong to lead the troops as the chief army.

Fortunately, Chen Mu contacted Kong Xiaoxian, otherwise he would have rashly helped Wu Dong to fight, and the consequences would be unimaginable. At that time, whether it is himself or Kong Xiaoxian, he will be heavily blamed by the gate valve.

However, Chen Mu turned back Kong Xiaoxian's letter and looked at it, and he found that Tang Zhen, the eighteenth prince, did not seem to be completely opposed to the war, Tang Zhen said: If you want to fight, you must prepare money and military rations by yourself, and you will win the battle, and you must get enough benefits.

In other words, Childe has pointed out the clear way, it's not that you can't fight, but you must fight according to the rules.

If you are not given money, you are not given food, you must also win the first battle and get enough benefits.

More importantly, the principle of the vassal king's rule of the vassal domain must not be undermined.

Chen Mu suddenly had an idea, wrote to Kong Xiaoxian, and asked Kong Xiaoxian to write to Gongzi to agree, if Gongzi could agree, Chen Mu decided to go to the south of Gulan to take a turn.

In this way, he can not only get some military pay from Wu Dong, but also get sulfur mines.

The only difficulty now is that Wu Dong wants to eliminate the queen of the Gulan Kingdom and the royal family, and Chen Mu can't agree.

Chen Mu wrote to Wu Dong again, saying: If the queen of the Gulan Kingdom is a vassal to Daliang, we can't beat her. We only ask her to pay compensation for the land. And to the queen of the Quran kingdom to assure her that her family will be the king of the Quran kingdom for generations. In this way, we can ensure that other small countries will not panic and eventually unite against the main beam. If Wu Jianjun disagrees with me, then the agreement between us is null and void. Don't say that I have gone back on my word, because it is you who cheated first, and don't blame me for being untrustworthy.

The communication is all about the stagecoach galloping, and it takes time, so Chen Mu will not get a reply soon.

After Chen Mu sent the letter out, he took Zhang Han and the others to the dungeon again and saw Fang Qing.

Chen Mu sat outside the cage and said with a smile: "Fang Qing, your tricks have been exposed. Zhang Ga is not your secret stake. I'm very happy with that. I would also like to thank you for giving me one more proven person to my side. I will reuse Zhang Ga in the future. ”

Fang Qing stood up suddenly: "General Chen, are you kidding?" ”

Chen Mula's face sank: "Do you think I'm joking?" ”

Fang Qing squatted on the ground in discouragement, holding his head in both hands.

Chen Mu rubbed his chin and said, "What, what's wrong?" ”

Fang Qing said: "There's nothing wrong with it, I just figured it out now, in fact, I was deceived by Liu Dong." Forget it, I'm no longer useful, you can kill me. ”

Chen Mu clapped his hands and applauded: "What a strong man." However, you say that you have no use value. I don't agree with that. I think you're still useful. ”

Fang Qing smiled bitterly: "General Chen, it is impossible for me to serve you, otherwise my whole family will die." But if I die, my family will get a lot of money. I also hope that you can throw my body in front of Liu Dong so that he can see it clearly. ”

Chen Mu was speechless, and said in his heart: If he fell into such a situation, he might not be able to behave more heroically than Fang Qing.

Chen Mu nodded regretfully: "Okay, I'll fulfill you." ”

"Wait." The cripple came over and asked, "Where is your family?" ”

"What are you going to do?" Fang Qing's eyes were frightened, and he grabbed the railing with both hands: "Don't fight my family's idea, they are all controlled by the Xuanjia Army, it is impossible for you to hurt them, and it is impossible for you to rescue them." ”

The cripple sneered: "If they were already dead, would you know?" ”

"I ......"

"You don't have to answer, because you certainly don't know." The lame man smiled gloomily: "Tell me the address, let me check, maybe I can bring back the head of your father or daughter-in-law and child." If that's really ......"

"You're dreaming!"

"I didn't say I'm going to kill them. I just want you to know if they're still alive. If they live, I will fulfill you. If they're dead, I don't think you're dead meaninglessly. ”

The first is the latest.
